I’ve been meaning to post this one for awhile. I make it fairly often, especially when I need a quick dinner to make that I know will be a hit. I’m teaching a class on 30 minute dinners next week and this will definitely be on the hand outs! I’ll be sharing the recipe for the soft brioche buns I serve them on soon, but you can also just serve on your favorite rolls or hamburger buns.
